MAIMANA (Pajhwok): A 12-year-old boy has been savagely beaten by Taliban militants in northern Faryab province because his father is a security official in northern Jawzjan province, but the Taliban denied the allegation, blaming it on the boy’s uncle.
Faryab police chief Gen. Rohullah Khalil Oghli told Pajhwok Afghan News the boy was the son of Sher Agha, a National Directorate of Security official. The boy was brutally beaten yesterday.
The boy’s father fled Sherin Tagab district after the district was captured by the Taliban and arrived in Maimana, leaving behind his family in the district . . .
